Retro Patchwork Top Grain Suede Bag

Description
This tote is crafted from first-layer cowhide leather, finished on the suede side to achieve softness without sacrificing fiber strength. Unlike split suede, first-layer suede maintains internal density, allowing the bag to hold shape while remaining flexible.
The wide body panels are intentionally uninterrupted to let the suede fall naturally. The drawstring channel is reinforced internally to prevent edge tearing—an essential detail in soft constructions.
The shoulder straps use smooth cowhide (not suede) to resist stretch and abrasion where load is highest. The attached mini pouch is made from the same leather grade and functions as a quick-access compartment without disrupting the bag’s balance.

Story
This bag is about controlled looseness.
Suede wants to move. It wants to collapse, fold, and react to gravity. Instead of fighting that behavior, the construction works with it. The panels are cut to allow depth without bulk. The drawstrings gather the top without cutting into the leather.
First-layer cowhide is the reason this works. Its fiber length allows repeated pulling at the mouth without thinning or tearing. Over time, the suede darkens slightly at stress points, creating natural variation—not damage.
The mini pouch exists for function, not decoration. It keeps small items accessible so the main body stays uncluttered and relaxed.
This is not stiffness pretending to be soft.
This is softness engineered to last.
